use this

<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<PATH of the css file>" />

in the head tag of your .aspx page

Sounds like it is relative path issue. At times, after deployment the path referenced as a source for images, stylesheets, etc is not correctly formed. This leads to no file found at the location referred because of which images don't download or style-sheets does not get applied.
You would need to make sure that the path is correct such that file is found and used.

I would suggest you to use this Tip and resolve the path correctly before setting the source of the file: Resolving Paths in a Multi-Folder WebSite[^]
